The formation of the Belgian Independent Parachute Company “The Belgians who will form the Independent Parachute Company - the precursor of the SAS squadron - have the most diverse backgrounds. Origin, language and very different forms of education ensure that this unit will be one of the most heterogeneous of the Belgian Army in the United Kingdom. However, this diversity ensures extreme adaptability, a great deal of resourcefulness and a high level of operational resilience, a diversity that will further strengthen the keen awareness of the common goal, namely participation in the destruction of Nazism and especially the liberation of Belgium and Europe. Therein lays precisely the basis of a highly driven esprit de corps, and an unparalleled coherence and efficiency.” (Edouard Blondeel) Like all military units and formations, the men came from all walks of life. The Belgian Independent Parachute Company consisted of Belgian refugees and escaped prisoners of war, but also seasoned veterans from the French Foreign Legion, graduates from the Public Defence Force (Force Publique) of Belgian Congo, veterans of various other organisations such as the Special Operations Executive (SOE), as well as Belgians who resided in Great Britain or on the other side of the Atlantic, and responded to the call for resistance by the Belgian government in exile in Edouard Blondeel, commander London. The volunteers included a former world of the Belgian SAS (Collection F. cycling champion, lawyers, farmers, labourers, Van Haezendonck) lumberjacks, a circus acrobat, a professional wrestler and three barons. The commanding officer was a qualified engineer and dentist. The men who volunteered came from across the world to fight the enemy. Not all of them could even speak the same language. Some spoke French, some Dutch and others only English. These differences of upbringing, class, lifestyle and even language might have seemed problematic, but an esprit de corps developed within the unit. How all these Belgians ended up in Great Britain would lead us far too far. However, we want to emphasize that it was seldom or never a ‘holiday trip’ and that some risked their lives to achieve their goal, such as Dr. Frank Sevens, who crossed the anchorage outside the port of Gibraltar by swimming, or Jules Regner, who as a prisoner of war stationed in Stalag 1-A near Stablack (East Prussia), reached England after an arduous journey. Another stunning escape story is that of René Krins. For some time the idea had been going through his mind to get to England 5 and to continue the struggle for the liberation of Europe. René left his home town of Verviers by bicycle on 10 May 1941. After two days,

  • Proceedings: Ecology, Survey and Management of Forest Insects GTR-NE-311 2750 Fig
    Trypodendron domesticum and Trypodendron signatum: Two Scolytid Species Involved in Beech Decline in Belgium B. Gaubicher1, M. De Proft1 and J.-C. Gregoire2,3 1Department of Phytopharmacy, Agricultural Research Center of Gembloux, Belgium 2Laboratoire de Biologie animale et cellulaire, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium 3Fonds National Belge de la Recherche Scientifique, Bruxelles Introduction Xylophagous scolytids (Ambrosia beetles) have long been known to prefer fallen or seriously weakened trees and stumps. They are attracted to this host material by ethanol produced by the fermenting phloem and sapwood. However, these insects have begun aggressively attacking living beeches in Southern Belgium, raising the issue of a possible shift towards primarity. More than 1.3 million m³ have been attacked in 2001 (Huart and Rondeux 2001). Strikingly, similar occurrences of ambrosia beetles attacking living broadleaf trees have been observed worldwide recently. A series of experiments have been carried out since December 2000 to answer a series of rather basic but essential questions : what is the beetles’ phenology ? Do they have two generations a year ? What are the patterns of emergence for both species ? How far from an outbreak focus do they represent a threat to other stands? Material and Methods Phenology Four baited Theyson traps (distance between traps : 50 m) were placed in four attacked sites in the Ardennes. Catches were counted and identified once each week from the begining to the end of the flight period for both species. Patterns of Emergence 15 individual and 23 collective emergence traps were placed on infested trees at the end of the 2001 flight period. Catches were counted and identified once each week from 12 July to 3 October for individual traps, and from 1 August to 1 October for collective traps.
